Name Mapping not working on remote browser
The name mapping and test cases work fine on local browsers, but would complain about page or object not found when running headless remote browsers and in parallel testing. I have the following se...

No I'm not, currently I'm running it on local machine.
Eventually we want to integrate to Jenkins and trigger the tests from there so I'm trying to set it up.
I found the headless setup on this link: Creating and Running Web Tests in Headless Web Browsers With TestComplete
I asked because you said "remote browsers" a couple of times and that's a different path for troubleshooting than this might be.
When you are running the headless test, does it fail on the very first object or does it work for a while and then eventually come up with an error?
When running on headless mode, our website redirects us to authentication page first, which works fine.
After authentication and when we're on the website for testing, it begins to fail on this line:
aqObject.CheckProperty(page.contentDocument.documentElement, "innerText", cmpContains, "Table Types")saying RuntimeError: Type mismatch.
The following line fails with "You are trying to call the "Click" method or property of an object that does not exist."
page.sideBar.FindChild("Id", VarToStr(featureNum)).Click()It also prompts me with:
"The NameMapping.Sys.browser.pagePivot2.sideBar object
can be found faster if you make //div[contains(@class, 'sidebar-menu-container')] the first selector in its selector list."
(This is already the first and the only selector in list, and clicking on the 'Improve Performance' only adds an empty selector before this one.)
And when I tried to click on a mapped button, it shows:
For which the "New Selectors" it's suggesting is wrong.
On headed browsers the tests execute fine without any problem.
On headless mode the page redirects us to authentication first, which works fine.
Once we're on our website, the test begins to fail.
- 1. page.contentDocument and page.contentDocument.documentElement are both empty, the following line fails with "RuntimeError: Type mismatch"
aqObject.CheckProperty(page.contentDocument.documentElement, "innerText", cmpContains, "Table Types")- 2. FindChild method doesn't work: "You are trying to call the "Click" method or property of an object that does not exist."
page.sideBar.FindChild("Id", VarToStr(featureNum)).Click()The selector it mentioned is already the first and the only one in the list, the "Improve Performance" only adds an empty selector to the head of that list.
- 3. When trying to click a mapped button:
page.buttonCreateNewTransformation.ClickButton()Also, the new selector it suggests is wrong
Why this problem still remains unanswered SmartBear?...
RichardPla There are not always answers to every post.
It could be because the original poster figured it out and never posted the solution. That happens frequently.
If the volunteers who are answering questions don't have any more information to offer, then the thread can stop as well.
You can try asking the original poster for their solution. If you are having a similar problem, you can create your own post and include the details and see if anyone answers.
Hi, have you found the solution of this problem? I'm now experiencing the same issue with headless mode. And what I found is, that the web page/mapped elements in headless mode simply does not return their children elements. And this is also why FindChild method fails. Unless I missed something in the headless mode settings, I believe it's a bug in TC headless implementation. Of course, I also created a ticket and waiting for reply from smartbear.
Please post the solution when you hear back from Support!
